James smiled: "In the past, one of my mentors was from Huaxia, and I used to learn a lot from my teacher, and then I also went to Huaxia for a period of time, so I naturally knew a few words of Huaxia. ”

"I see, then I don't know what your purpose is this time?How could you suddenly suffer such a catastrophe?" Lu Yao did not shy away from asking the question in his heart.

James didn't hide much from him, and replied very straightforwardly: "We are a scientific expedition team from the United States, hired by a private consortium, and this time in addition to doing scientific tests, we are also shouldering an exploration mission. ”

As for the specific task, James did not explain it to Lu Yao in detail, and Lu Yao did not continue to ask, but changed the topic and said: "Dr. James, how long have you been in Antarctica?

Lu Yao doesn't know much about Antarctica, and many of them are still news found on the Internet, which are unclear and plausible, and it is difficult to find the location of the pregnant spirit fruit with these news.

Now that I finally met someone who knows a lot about the Antarctic environment, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

James looked sideways at Lu Yao, and saw that he was just wearing an ordinary coat, and he didn't have a thick set of warm clothes like himself, and then thought of the magical means he used to save his teammates before, and knew that he was extraordinary.

He asked curiously, "Mr. Lu, you must be those strange people in Chinese legends, right?"

Lu Yao himself also knew that his dress was very special, which seemed very ordinary in the big city outside, but in the cold and freezing Antarctic, it was extremely eye-catching.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, nodded casually and said, "It's okay if you think so." I came to Antarctica to look for the fruit of a plant, but I searched for ten days and a half on this continent, and still found nothing. So I'd like to ask Dr. James, do you know of any special circumstances?"

James frowned and said, "I don't know what the plant Mr. Lu is looking for looks like? The environment here in Antarctica is very harsh, and there are too few plants suitable for growth. Moreover, the area of this continent is too vast, and it is difficult to find it without coordinates. ”

Lu Yao let out a long breath, shook his head and said, "I don't know what that plant looks like, I can only recognize it when I see it, this is a very magical induction, I don't know if you can understand Dr. James?"

James nodded again and again: "I understand, in your Chinese dialect, this is called fate, right?"

Lu Yao opened his mouth, wanting to explain that fate didn't mean this, but thinking about it, he closed it again, after all, if you want to find the Pregnant Spirit Fruit, you really have to rely on chance.

He casually said, "I don't know, Dr. James, do you know?"

James half frowned, began to recall the places he had been to on the previous expedition, and slowly shook his head for a while: "Mr. Lu, I'm very sorry, although I have led a team to Antarctica three or four times, I have never seen that very peculiar plant. ”

After a pause, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "But we are going to a place on this expedition, and the environment there is very peculiar, maybe suitable for growing the kind of plant you mentioned." ”

"Oh, what is it?" Lu Yao asked, looking up at James.

"According to rumors, it is the only place in Antarctica where all kinds of plants and animals grow. It was a valley with no signs of snow and ice. Dr. James spoke to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Is there such a unique place in Antarctica? That's really incredible." ”

Dr. James laughed, "Nature is so amazing that anything can be brewed, and that's nothing." It is said to have been an active volcanic lake because of the high temperature of the lake throughout the year, melting all the snow and ice in the valley, creating a unique natural environment. ”

Lu Yao asked, "Then do you know how to go?"

Dr. James smiled wryly, "We have a map, but it's not complete. In addition to the expedition to Antarctica, the most important thing for our expedition team is to find this magical place. ”

Lu Yao glanced at him and asked strangely, "Dr. James, is it really good for you to tell me your mission?"

James smiled bitterly: "Mr. Lu, to tell you the truth, this is the last time I organized an expedition to lead a team, and if I can't find that place again, my employer will withdraw its investment in my laboratory." Without funding, I would not have been able to continue my expedition to Antarctica. ”

Scientific expedition teams, especially in places as harsh as Antarctica, cannot accomplish such a feat without the support of the state or large conglomerates, and by individuals alone.

Lu Yao nodded thoughtfully this time, it turned out that James wanted to fight against the water.

Seeing that Lu Yao no longer doubted his motives, James continued: "To be honest, I saw that Mr. Lu was extraordinary, and I wanted to borrow Mr. Lu's hand to lead us to this place, and when the time comes, we will each take what we need, how about it?"

Lu Yao nodded noncommittally, anyway, he didn't have a clue now, so it was better to agree first.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." But if I do find the magical place you said, if there is something I want, I will take it first. ”

James smiled, "No problem, anyway, I was just exploring the boss behind the scenes, and he didn't ask me to bring anything back." ”

In fact, James knew that even if he objected at that time, it would be useless, and all the people in his team were not considered to be opponents of other people's fingers, so it was better to be more generous.

After Lu Yao agreed to go with Dr. James and his party, Dr. James began to invite Lu Yao to have dinner with him at the camp.

At this moment, because of Lu Yao's arrangement of protective formations in the camp, the wind and snow inside are very small, and the temperature is not so cold. Some of the members of the expedition team have already lit a bonfire, set up a stove, and are ready to start boiling snow to make hot soup.

They almost encountered an accident in the afternoon, when they were hungry and cold, and they had to endure hunger and cold in order to build a sheltered camp. Now that he has finally settled down and is out of danger, he naturally has to treat his hungry stomach first.

Although the expedition team lost some of the supplies, there were still a lot of supplies left, and if they were used sparingly, they could hold on for more than half a month.

James had already made up his mind that if they couldn't find the place marked on the map after ten days, they would have to start their journey back, otherwise there would not be enough supplies left for them to get out of the land.
